The People Behind the Process

We started Nest Convey because we thought residential conveyancing could be done better.

We’re proud of what we’re building here.

Step-by-Step:

Conveyancing for Buyers

Every purchase follows a similar journey, though timelines can vary depending on the chain, the property type, and how quickly searches and enquiries are resolved. Here’s what to expect from your fixed fee conveyancing solicitor in Wilmslow.

1.

Instruction & ID Checks

Once your offer is accepted, you instruct us and we carry out the necessary identity and anti-money laundering checks. Getting these done quickly helps keep things on track from the start.

2.

Review Contract Pack

We receive and review the contract pack from the seller’s solicitors, checking the title, any special conditions, and the property’s legal history. If anything needs querying, we raise it early.

3.

Property Searches

We apply for local authority, drainage, and environmental searches; essential for understanding anything that might affect the property or your use of it. Search turnaround times can vary by area.

4.

Mortgage & Enquiries

We liaise with your mortgage lender, satisfy any conditions on your offer, and work through any enquiries raised with the seller’s solicitors. This stage can take time if responses are slow — but we’ll keep chasing.

5.

Exchange of Contracts

Once all enquiries are resolved and your mortgage offer is in place, we exchange contracts. At this point the sale becomes legally binding and your completion date is set. You’ll typically pay your deposit at this stage.

6.

Pick Up Your Keys

On completion day we transfer the funds, notify all parties, and give you the green light to collect your keys. All that’s left now is the best bit — to welcome you to your new home!

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about the house buying process? We’ve answered the ones we hear most often below. If you’re wondering about something not on the list, just give us a call and we’ll help however we can.

The average purchase takes between 10 and 16 weeks from instruction to completion, though this varies depending on the chain, property type, and how quickly searches and enquiries are resolved. Leasehold purchases and new builds can sometimes take longer. Your dedicated house buying solicitor in Wilmslow will give you a realistic timeline at the outset and keep you updated throughout. However we pride ourselves on turning transactions around as quickly as possible.

If you’re buying freehold, you own the property and the land it sits on outright. Leasehold means you own the property for a set period — typically decades or centuries — but not the land, which is owned by a freeholder. As specialist leasehold purchase solicitors in Wilmslow, we’ll review the lease terms, service charges, and ground rent carefully and explain everything clearly before you proceed.

You’ll have access to our secure client portal from day one, where you can track your matter in real time. Your dedicated conveyancer will also provide regular proactive updates — so you’ll always know exactly where things stand without needing to chase.

As part of our anti-money laundering obligations, we’re required to verify the source of your funds. This typically means providing recent bank statements, a mortgage offer or — where funds have been gifted — a signed gifted deposit letter. We’ll let you know exactly what’s needed at the start of your matter.

Our fixed fee conveyancing costs are typically paid in stages — an initial payment on instruction to cover disbursements such as searches, with the remainder due ahead of completion. We’ll provide a full cost breakdown upfront so there are no surprises.

We carry out the three standard searches on every purchase: a local authority search, a drainage and water search, and an environmental search. Depending on the property’s location or type, additional searches may be recommended. We’ll advise you if anything further is needed.

SDLT is calculated as a percentage of the purchase price, with different rates applying to different portions. First-time buyer conveyancing in Wilmslow often attracts SDLT relief on purchases up to a certain threshold. This is definitely worth factoring in when budgeting for your move. Rates and thresholds are set by HMRC and can change, so we recommend using the HMRC SDLT calculator for the most up-to-date figures. Due to the complexity involved, we don’t provide tax advice. However, we may be able to offer general information.
